Description:
The side channel system at Gameren was measured from 1996 to 2018. The dataset contains bed level data in the side channels from 1996 to 2018 and discharge measurements between 2000 and 2002. Grain size samples were collected between 2017 and 2018 in the three side channels. In addition, a hydrodynamic model was set up to compute the hydrodynamic conditions in the side channels.

RF6: 	Baseline (GIS DATABASE) intervention for 1996, 1999 and 2017 (software from https://helpdeskwater.nl)
		- Interventions that can be used in the baseline software to create the hydrodynamic model. The interventions represent the state of Gameren in 1996, 1999 and 2017, and are based on the data in RF1.
